    What lawyer wrote a long running syndicated newspaper column on a bridge?

    Question #115387. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Jun 19 10 11:20 PM)


    Zbeckabee

    Charles Henry Goren (March 4, 1901 – April 3, 1991) was a world champion American bridge player and bestselling author who contributed significantly to the development and popularization of the game. Goren became world champion at the Bermuda Bowl in 1950. Goren's books have sold millions of copies (especially Winning Bridge Made Easy and Contract Bridge Complete); by 1958 his daily bridge column was appearing in 194 American newspapers.

    Goren was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Russian Jewish immigrants. He earned a law degree at McGill University in Montreal. While he was attending McGill, a girlfriend laughed at his ineptness at the game of bridge, motivating him to immerse himself in a study of existing bridge materials.

    Are you meaning Jack Anderson of the Merry-Go-Round, and what bridge did he write on, as I'm not finding a reference?
